I think I would have gotten it from the "Europe on $5 a Day" book--I used to love them when I was a teenager, and foolishly thought that those price figures weren't long obsolete!

But just last week, there was a story about this. Google was going to stop publishing the books, so Arthur Frommer bought the company back!

Rebecca ran through some of the lyrics of "Piano Man". She couldn't remember some of them so she added "la dee da dee da" and then suddenly came to the realization.

I'm pretty sure the others are too new to have been around 55 years ago, even if I didn't recognize the "...on $5 a Day".
